Abstract

The article presents the problem of the right to be forgotten in connection with protection of personal interests. The author’s purpose is to determine whether this right is a new personal interest, what role does it play in civil law, and how it can be sought under civil procedure. Reference has also been made to the case law with respect to the right to be forgotten, especially the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union. In addition, attention has been also paid to the content of the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the extent as above mentioned and the new Polish Personal Data Protection Act.
